It was another interesting week on the loan front for Tottenham's 11 loan stars. Following a real goal frenzy two weeks ago with four players getting their name on the scoresheet, this time many had to make do with limited minutes.
It was also a week of ups and downs as Djed Spence and Joe Rodon exited the Europa League on penalties, while Bryan Gil and Sevilla progressed through to the Round of 16 despite a scare away at PSV. So how exactly did they all get on across the globe?
football.london takes a look below.

Djed Spence and Joe Rodon (Rennes)
Spence and Rodon endured a week of mixed emotions at Rennes. Involved in the Europa League last Thursday, the French club exited the competition in the knockout round play-off following a penalty shootout defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Looking set to progress through to the Round of 16 before a late own goal 90 seconds before the end of extra time sent the tie to penalties, Rennes' European ambitions came crashing down in the shootout. They did manage to get back on track, though, with a 1-0 win in their derby clash away at Nantes.
Having played no part against Shakhtar during the week, Rodon was once again an unused substitute in the victory but Spence played the full 90 minutes. Successful with two of his three dribbles in the final third, he also contributed defensively by winning all three of his tackles, winning six of his eight duels, making four recoveries, two blocks and two clearances - including one off the line - in the win.
Rennes, who are fifth in Ligue 1 and four points off third, return to action on Sunday with a crunch home clash against second-place Marseille.
Bryan Gil (Sevilla)
Gil also played in the Europa League during the week as Sevilla progressed through to the Round of 16 with a 3-2 aggregate victory over PSV after losing 2-0 on the night. The winger got another start to his name and played 86 minutes before he made way with the score at 1-0.
Gil and Sevilla returned to La Liga action on Sunday as they lost 3-2 at home against Osasuna. Trailing 1-0 and needing to find a way back into the match, the youngster made way on 57 minutes as Lucas Ocampos took his place in the XI.
Sevilla's next game sees them travel to the Spanish capital on Saturday evening as they take on Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid. It will give Gil a chance to catch up with Tottenham teammate Sergio Reguilon and also former Spurs man Matt Doherty as they are now on Atleti's books.
Destiny Udogie (Udinese)
After visiting Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the recent 2-0 win over West Ham, Udogie was back on the pitch for Udinese on Sunday as they hosted Spezia. The left wing-back did have a hand in their second goal in the 2-2 draw following a good run down the flank before cutting inside and finding Sandi Lovric, who in turn teed up ex-Watford man Roberto Pereyra.
Udogie did make an impact in attack after completing all three of his dribbles, his two attempted long balls and also his one cross. Udinese return to league action on Saturday evening with a trip to Atalanta on the cards.
Harry Winks (Sampdoria)
Remaining in Italy, Winks and Sampdoria fell to a 1-0 defeat against Lazio on Monday evening, with the midfielder once again playing the full game. Having conceded at the death in their previous league match against Bologna, the Genoa-based club again conceded late on following Luis Alberto's 80th minute strike to leave them nine points adrift of safety with 14 games to go.
It has been quite the week for Sampdoria as a severed pig's head was delivered to the club on Saturday along with a note that stated "the next heads will be yours". The Serie A club confirmed that the package was addressed to former club president Massimo Ferrero and current vice-president Antonio Romei, resulting in the police being called over the incident which the club called a "serious act of intimidation".
Sampdoria face another crucial showdown on Sunday when they host Salernitana, who are currently 16th, as they look to avoid relegation to Serie B.
Tanguy Ndombele (Napoli)
Napoli are flying at the top of the Serie A table and Ndombele looks on course to help the Naples-based club to the Scudetto unless they suffer an almighty collapse in their final 14 league fixtures. Having won 2-0 away at Empoli on Saturday, their lead at the top is now 18 points as second-place Inter Milan fell to a 1-0 defeat away at Bologna.
Having come on for the final 10 minutes of their Champions League Round of 16 first leg win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday night, Ndombele just got the one minute to his name at Empoli. The Frenchman will be hoping for an increase in pitch time on Friday when they host Lazio at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
Sergio Reguilon (Atletico Madrid)
Reguilon suffered another setback in his Atletico Madrid loan spell last Monday after suffering a thigh injury in training. The injury meant he missed out on his return to the Santiago Bernabeu as Atleti and Real played out a 1-1 draw in the Madrid derby.
One sour point for Atleti in the draw was left-back Reinildo Mandava rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The injury does open up the door for Reguilon to get an extended run in Simeone's team, but that will all depend on the Spurs man returning to fitness as soon as possible.
Reguilon's former club Sevilla are next up for Atletico Madrid on Saturday evening.
Giovani Lo Celso (Villarreal)
Lo Celso has taken a big step over the past week after returning to training at Villarreal following the hamstring injury that he suffered ahead of Argentina's successful World Cup campaign. The midfielder will be looking to return as soon as possible as he bids to help Villarreal get back into European contention via the league and also go far in the Europa Conference League after drawing Anderlecht in the Round of 16.
Troy Parrott (Preston North End)
Parrott was on the wining side on Saturday as Preston recorded a much-needed victory after getting the better of Lancashire rivals Wigan, coming from behind to win 2-1. The striker wasn't on the scoresheet at Deepdale but he got 90 minutes in the tank before he was subbed off in the final few seconds of stoppage time.
Receiving a score of six in LancashireLive's player ratings, they wrote: "Quiet in the first half and loose in some of his play, but improved in the second. Decision making let him down at times, but he showed some signs of linking up with Cannon and had a few runs at Wigan's back line."
Preston will be looking to back up the result when they host in-form Coventry City on Tuesday evening, with a game away at Watford on the agenda on Saturday.
Harvey White (Derby)
White was handed a second successive start in the league for Derby but it was a day to forget for the Rams as they were hammered 4-1 by League One play-off rivals Barnsley. The Tottenham man only played 60 minutes of the contest before Paul Warne replaced him for the remainder of the game.
White, as well as all his teammates for that matter, didn't fair well in the player ratings on DerbyshireLive as he was handed a four for his performance. They wrote: "One or two neat touches, but never really made a huge imprint on the game. Was never really afforded any time in midfield to get his head up which is his strength. Struggled and was subbed."
White and Derby have a chance to put things right immediately with Cheltenham Town visiting Pride Park on Tuesday evening, before they then host Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.
Dane Scarlett (Portsmouth)
Portsmouth recorded an impressive win on Saturday afternoon after hitting Cheltenham Town for four at Fratton Park. Scarlett started the game on the bench but was brought on for the final 22 minutes of the contest, with The News handing him a score of six out of ten for his showing.
They wrote: "So unlucky when he slipped as he attempted to tap home after keeper had parried Lane’s shot. Always injects a bit of pace and directness."
Portsmouth host Bolton on Tuesday evening before travelling to Cambridge United on Saturday.
